Obverse Text: 1888 | LIBERTY | E PLURIBUS UNUM
Reverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | ONE DOLLAR | IN GOD WE TRUST | S

Guidelines for Collecting:

Compared with earlier Morgan dollars produced at the San Francisco Mint, the 1888-S dollars are not as sharply struck. Quality varies from poor to sharp, with the sharply struck pieces in the minority. Luster of the 1888-S is usually attractive and varies from satiny to frosty.

Availability in Circulated Grades:

This low-mintage date can be found in EF and AU without much difficulty.

Availability in Mint State Grades:

A scarce date in Uncirculated grades though persistent collectors will find MS-63 and 64 coins available. An MS-64 with a sharp strike and rich luster would be a grand addition to any Morgan dollar set.

Availability in Proof:

None produced.
